From the manufacturer
Our plumb bobs are designed with the professional land surveyor in mind!
PB008B
- Also great when you're aligning a GPS tripod over your survey (or any other type of reference) points - quick to set up and very easy to use.
- Our tough and reliable 8-ounce brass plumb bob functions beautifully when installing rifle scopes.
- Setting a post for your rain gauge? That job is easier with this plumb bob!
- Are vertical drops part of your Systems Integrations? Do you need to plumb through insulation? Swanson's 16 ounce Brass Plumb Bob might be a better option - same style and just as durable.
Plumb bobs helped build the pyramids. Swanson’s precision accurate, premium brass plumb bobs are constructed of solid spun brass for heft and durability.
Features
- Solid Brass
- Removable top to center string
- Hardened steel tip
...but the whole line of Swanson Tool Company Plumb Bobs can be used by anyone looking for a straight up and down (vertical) reference:
Quick & Easy Example Of When To Use A Plumb Bob, In Just 4 Steps:
- At the top of a wall, measure out a few inches on the ceiling, confirm distance, and mark that point.
- Tap a nail into the canter of your mark.
- Hang your Swanson Plum Bob on the nail letting the full string play out so that the tip of the plumb bob hovers just above the floor - and note that a little motion is normal as the plumb bob settles.
- When the plumb bob stops moving, mark the spot just below the tip of the plumb bob and measure the distance from the wall.
Conclusion: Check your 2nd measurement at the bottom of the wall. Does it match your 1st measurement at the top of the wall? If yes, your wall is plumb.
Simple "How To" For Your New Plumb Bob - Confirming Your Wall Is Vertical
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Measure from the TopMake a mark 2 inches out from the top of the wall. Of course we recommend using a Swanson Savage Tape Measure. And we recommend you make your mark with our CP216 AlwaysSharp Pencil. |
Hang (and wait)Either hold the string, or (easier - especially from a height) set a nail and hang your plumb bob from the nail. The weight of the plumb bob will help it settle fairly quickly. |
Measure at the BaseYour string is now a clear and visual reference line from top to bottom. To confirm plumb, measure out 2 inches from the base of your wall and compare. |
Confirm 2"A plumb bob that is suspended exactly 2 inches out from the top of the wall, that has its tip exactly 2 inches out from the base of the wall is confirming your wall is vertical. Good job! |
